Note. — The first church erected in Morris County, N. J., was 
at Whippany, and in the ground about it the earliest settlers of 
this region were buried. The church was afterwards removed to 
Hanover, about three miles to the eastward, and subsequently 
burials were made both at Whippany and ai\)und the new church. 
Genealogists who have traced the families here represented, have 
had frequent occasion to search for and copy inscriptions on the 
grave stones found in these cemeteries. To preserve these records 
from destruction exact copies have been taken, and to make them 
convenient for examination this pamphlet has been printed. As 
far as possible, eccenti-icities of spelling, &c., have been carefully 
preserved.

For when grim Death has struck the strike 

we have no more time to work 

And sence this thing we know is true 

the one thing needful let us due.

To sleep till the last angel comes.
